Could be, we may never know. :( I wouldn't be surprised if it is mixture of various hoards to give it size/critical mass, though this Hoard is so...

Part III of the Fairmont Collection analysis is now up:...
He's getting up there in years. Had a co-writer on his LH DE book about a decade ago. And has never done a 2nd Edition on his 2004 Whitman Red...
The price of silver aside, when you pay a certain premium for years and/or decades...and then it doubles or triples or more....you notice it....
I just assumed that the use of Bower's name implied he was a part-owner and/or had an interest in the firm. Guess not.
But isn't that in the past ? If most of the coins (I'll have to re-read it, but if the bulk are already out) then the supply hits should have...

You should read his interviews with Maurice Rosen (2008) on CAC stickers and with CoinWeek in late-2022 on CACG. He acknowledges how "market...
But that's predictive behavior from something that may or may not be correlated CORRECTLY to the economy...and even if it is, is also influenced...
